no... I said.....

bubba got a new RZR???

Good job Bubba. Glad your up and running.

1400 miles doesn't seem like a lot of miles for that much stuff to be worn out. I have 680 miles on mine and this has me concerned. I was thinking I wouldn't need to replace that kind of stuff until around 2000 miles or so. I'm new to these rzr's so it looks like I have a lot to learn....I guess I will have to keep my rookie stripe.

Bubba likes the mud.....so I am guessing that helped wear out the parts faster!

It looks like I need to ask the wifey to work a little overtime

How about the rest of you...how many miles are you getting before having to replace worn out stuff.

I had 1800+ on my 09 LE when I sold it and all I did was brakes pads on every corner. But I am pretty easy on my ride!

around 1300 for me.

ya got to pay to play.

I was greasing the rzr according to the owners manual....but I found out if you are riding thru mud holes or creek riding....you need to grease every other ride....thats why the bushings wore out so fast.

go with the delrin and dont grease ! Im trying it now , every now and then I will get a squeek but it goes away ! about 300 miles now ! Bubba did you change the sleeves on the bushings ?

I GOT YA...I have been greasing mine after every time I go out just to push out the water and dirt. I'm like you BUBBA...I like the mud and creek riding so I guess I will just have to replace things as they wear out...MUD HOLES HERE I COME!!!!

I have one more question...while doing some service work I noticed the the belt cover don't have a drain plug. After going thru mud holes and creeks, how do you drain the water out...or do the covers seal so good the water don't seep in.

they seal pretty good....when I snorkled my rzr...there was no water in the belt housing....they do make a cover with a drain plug ....just order a cover for the polaris 800 atv...it will fit

no...the sleeves were ok...and I'm using marine grade grease now...

I use synthetic marine grease.

I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND AT THIS POINT.

IF YOU HAVE A GARAGE QUEEN, THEN THINGS WILL NOT WEAR OUR

BUT, IF YOUR GOING TO RIDE LIKE WE ALL DO -- THEN REPLACING PARTS FROM TIME TO TIME IS NATURE OF THE BUISINESS

I know thats impossible but I try to lower my odds
